With its two-hundred-year history, The Bremen Philharmonic has left its mark on north-west Germany’s music scene with a wide range of concerts and opera productions. Its list of general music directors includes such illustrious names as Hans von Bülow, Marcello Viotti, Markus Poschner and, since the 2018/19 concert season, Marko Letonja. Their list of guest conductors is no less impressive, with amongst others Karl Böhm and Eugen Jochum as well as the composers Paul Hindemith and Johannes Brahms, who conducted the world premiere of his German Requiem in Bremen. Today, the Bremen Philharmonic performs almost daily: in philharmonic concerts, opera performances, after-work, family and special concerts, chamber music evenings, charity events and with programmes for young musicians. The orchestra has worked with world-renowned soloists such as Frank Peter Zimmermann, Marc-André Hamelin and Isabelle van Keulen, as well as conductors Carlos Kalmar, Mikhail Agrest and Michael Schønwandt.

Based in the newly developed Bremen Tabakquartier since 2022, the orchestra is perfectly positioned for the highlights of the 2024/25 anniversary season, for their 201st concert season and for a full concert schedule for many years to come.
